‘The Heat’ Blasts Off For Its Opening Weekend but ‘Monsters U’ Stays on Top

'Monsters University' is the number one movie at the box office for the second week in a row. Despite a blazing opening weekend from 'The Heat', a buddy cop comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. 'The Heat' opened up to a nice 40 mil. marking the highest grossing opening weekend of any film for all three of the films key players. Director Paul Feig, who teamed up with McCarthy on the hilarious flick 'Bridesmaids' has found himself another comedy gem. The film even marks the largest opening weekend total for America's Sweetheart Sandra Bullock. Think about that. That includes movies like 'While You Were Sleeping', 'Miss Congeniality', and 'Speed'.  Meanwhile the Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx action flick, 'White House Down' did not do so hot. The film opened up in 4th making 25 mil. A significant amount less than its funnier counterpart above. This makes the second film put out by Sony THIS SUMMER to be less than successful financially. Will Smith's 'After Earth' which has only made 57 million TOTAL domestically. Here is this weeks top 5:
